Ran into this today and thought it reflected some of our leadership.

Church of Stop Shopping Calls Holly War on Consumerism
“Beware, the shopocalypse be upon us! Confess your shopping sins and repent!”
So go the exhortations of Reverend Billy, pastor and performance artist of The Church of Stop Shopping Now. Reverend Billy is the cartoony evangelist also leading the recently released documentary film, “What Would Jesus Buy?”
The documentary, which opened to limited theaters last Friday, follows Reverend Billy’s month-long cross-country mission to exorcise the evils of an excessively materialistic America. According to the Los Angeles Times, the film is an entertaining but “frenzied wave of fear-inducing statistics” — all reminiscent of a Baptist revival show.
As the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday is upon us, Reverend Billy calls consumers to participate in Buy Nothing Day, a 24-hour shopping moratorium. Organized by Adbusters.
praise the lord! on the weekend of april 11-13, we held a healing crusade where about 100 people gather each night to lift up the name of Jesus! evangelist Baldomero Vasquez of Texas ministered to us by the holy spirit, we belong to the Apostolic Assembly of the Faith in Christ Jesus, to Lord uses bro. Vasques in a great way! over 10 people received gold fillings, caps! all the honor and the glory belongs to Jesus! steve ramirez
1991 -- On a bus trip to California in November, a Chicago Apostolic Assembly Church youth group endured the following: a two-day delay getting out of Chicago; numerous breakdowns, including a tire blowout in Missouri; a junk-food Thanksgiving dinner aboard the bus instead of the planned sumptuous meal in California; clutch failure on the bus as it climbed an Arizona mountain during a blizzard; two days in a small motel in Flagstaff, Ariz., awaiting heater and engine repairs and emergency cash (which never arrived); the stench of uncleaned lavatories; convulsions by the driver while at the wheel, due to a diabetic reaction; and citations issued by New Mexico police for having an unsafe vehicle (which finally ended the trip).
About 200 members of the Holy Tabernacle Church of God in Christ Apostolic in Boston received overdue tithing notices. It looked like a past due notice sent out by companies, instead it comes from the church. Members are warned they have 30 days to make payments or "all privileges of membership in the Church will be immediately suspended." About 70 members filed a lawsuit against their church earlier this year. It alleges they were not allowed to help select a new pastor and prevented from seeing financial records.
